MADRID, 4 Apr. (SportsFinding) –
The FC Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, celebrated a victory of “six points” against Sevilla this Sunday at the Camp Nou, thanks to a goal from a once again “superlative” Pedri, which keeps them firm in their idea and the pursuit to Real Madrid.
“It cost us the last decision at the top. We were superior, we were very good, created many chances. They are the best defensive team in the League, they work well. For us it is a six-point victory, which places us second, and that It tells us that we are in the best moment of the season,” he said.
The culé coach appeared at a press conference after a narrow win despite having many chances, which puts them second in the table, 12 points behind leader Madrid with one game in hand. “I celebrate because it is a momentous goal and there is adrenaline. I had the feeling that we deserved the goal and it couldn’t be that it didn’t go in, there was always one foot from Sevilla,” he said.
“The fans enjoy it, the atmosphere is extraordinary, there is a very good harmony and we have to continue this dynamic. The League continues until the math says otherwise. It is a victory that strengthens us a lot. They are victories that give morale and confidence to what’s left,” he added.
Xavi was asked about Pedri, author of a great goal to give victory to his team. “I really encourage him to shoot, but he happens to be a passer and he always has the pass in mind, it happened to me too. Today he scores a tremendous goal, there are very few like him, in the way we understand football, it’s a superlative player,” he said.
“If everyone runs, works, presses and we team up, the results will most likely come. There is no other secret, and then there are very good footballers. We are in a very good dynamic due to the work we do collectively. Today we have won another great,” he added.
The Barça coach referred to the fight for the League. “At least we are going to try, win all the games and look at the other because we do not depend on ourselves, they are still up there. It is difficult for Madrid to fail so much, but we are going to try until the end,” he said, before being asked by the referee this Sunday and the one for Saturday’s game in Balaídos.
“I get angry because I’m competing. The referees don’t compete, they have to be calm. I trust the honesty of the referees a lot, they would have to speak, what they whistled, why they whistled. If González Fuertes put it in a press conference can be explained. I can not speak for the referee today or yesterday, “he concluded.
